I want to know how to put an multi-sync monitor onto an Atari STe? I need to know what the horizontal Hz and vertical Hz in color and monochrome mode. I need to know what is the best multi-sync available for this type of job. Thanks in advance. A.Y.

Sorry, I have to disagree. The NEC may be the best (it's certainly very good), but there are definitely other monitors worth using, often less expensive. The Sony 1302/1304 make very nice ST monitors, and for cost I don't think you can beat the PanaSync 1391, locally seen at $329. Don't get the 1381, it can't sync to 15.75KHz, but the 1391 can. -- ############################################################################## # Bill Sheppard -- bills@microware.com -- {uunet,sun}!mcrware!mwca!bill # # Microware Systems Corporation -- OS-9 / OS-9000 / CD-RTOS -- (408)980-0201 # ##### Opinions expressed are my own, though you'd be wise to adopt them! #####

Hi Allen, You could build your own cable to connect a multisync-type monitor to your Atari, but it can be a major pain in the.... well you... butt! You can also buy a interface such as the OmniSwitch (from Talon) or the IB MultiSwitch (from IB Computers); and then get your own monitor such as the NEC 3D, the Mitsubishi DiamondScan or the Sony 1402. Although getting any of these monitor/interface combos will cost you around $600 (give or take!). Or (here comes... the shameless plug!) you could just get yourself a Omnimon monitor from Omnimon Peripherals (it is a multisync monitor and interface already packaged for the Atari's)!EBm). The phone is 800/429-OMNI. It costs the same as doing it yourself. luis P.S. I have no affiliation with Omnimon Peripherals, other than I am aware of thier products.

Don't get >the 1381, it can't sync to 15.75KHz, but the 1391 can. >-- I was thinking about getting the Panasync C1391, but then I read this (from the file "multsnc7" in the multisync archive uploaded to a.a) : [start of quote] The following is the list of monitors recommended by Talon: 1.) Acer Multisync 2.) Mitsubishi Diamond Scan #1381 3.) Samsung Model #CN 4551 Talon's Comments are ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. You must use a "Multisync" and NOT a "Multiscan" monitor. The best way to find out which monitor you have is to see if it can "Auto Scan" in both horizontal and vertical. 2.) Your monitor must be able to receive an "Analog" signal. 3.) The frequency range of your monitor must be as follows; Vertical Auto-Sync 15 - 36Khz or better Horizontal Auto-Sync 45 - 90Khz or better 4.) The "Dot Pitch" of your monitor should be at least .31mm. 5.) Frequency band width should be at least 35Mhz or better. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- It was this last which was hard to match. I found a cheaper monitor which looked like it would work, but the frequency band was only 30Mhz and it put too much strain somewhere and started to overheat. [end of quote] The Panasync C1391C (which is the model described by the spec sheet here on the desk) meets all the requirements EXCEPT one . . . you guessed it, the last one (Frequency Band width isn't listed on the spec sheet, but Video Band width is (30Mhz), so I'm assuming they're referring to the same thing). Is this really a big deal? Does anyone out there have one of these working with an ST(e)? Enquiring minds want to know . . . >-- > ############################################################################## > # Bill Sheppard -- bills@microware.com -- {uunet,sun}!mcrware!mwca!bill # > # Microware Systems Corporation -- OS-9 / OS-9000 / CD-RTOS -- (408)980-0201 # > ##### Opinions expressed are my own, though you'd be wise to adopt them! ##### Dave C -- Dave Churchill DoD #266 CS Undergrad david10@garfield.cs.mun.ca Memorial University of Newfoundland ar473@freenet.cleveland.edu St. John's, Nfld.
